Internet Watch Foundation, Claire Perry MP & MWT on blocking abuse materials online from 19m20s. Scale of the problem is shocking. The IWF can get a UK site closed down within an hour, but much more difficult if based abroad.

Also interview with one of Stuart Hall's victims, Susan Harrison, at 1hr8m.

So in other words it sounds like the judge's ruling was proportionate in this case, given the constraints he was compelled to work with.

I think the judge endeavoured to give sentence that was fair within the restrictions he was working under, I did agree with his remarks while sentencing, that he was giving him credit for pleading guilty but noting that he did not do this at his first opportunity and aggravated the trauma to the victims by ckaiming that the accusations were spurious when he knew fine well that he was guilty as sin. And the mitigating factor that the poor lamb was having trouble sleeping - so he's slept ok for the last 40 years or so knowing he committed the offences, but is plagued with sleeplessness now he's been caught and convicted? Well, good! I hope the survivors are happy with the sentence but I wouldn't blame them if they weren't.

He's really not very bright is he. The culture secretary isn't responsible for policing, she is doing work in the area she is tasked with. Berating her for carrying out her work is like berating a plumber because he didn't also tile the roof.

From that website, Fellows isn't a liar it's just what he said isn't true?

The first thing I’d like to make clear is that in regards to the Cook Report I do not believe that Ben Fellows is a liar. That, however, does not mean that his allegations are correct because a number of important details are certainly not true.

I’ve had this standing by for a while and now that David Hencke at Exaro has gone public I think it’s OK to post. I should point out that David Hencke is in a position to know. He was the senior journalist working for The Guardian on this investigation with the Cook Report and saw every piece of film

.

How kind of that website and David Hencke to think of the victim...finally.

When I was fifteen years old, I was introduced to politicians via working from 1990-1994 on the investigative TV show, “The Cook Report”, which became a nightmare. .... When I joined the team, I was a confident child actor. I had a powerful agent and I was working on a regular basis across the entertainment industry. The Cook Report needed a child,specifically one who was mixed race to place in front of prominent politicians to lure them into a sting operation – a dangerous honey trap if there ever was one.

Firstly, it was illegal for The Cook Report to exploit me in this way. I was a child for God’s sake! Yet, if I was eighteen but looked fifteen and I fully understood what I was getting into – then fair enough. But I was only fifteen at the time, so not being able to say no to a job – I joined the team and began my role in the sting.

This joint investigation by The Cook Report and Guardian is said to have taken place in 1994. the Guardian carried a report based on the investigation on 20 Oct 1994.

Was Ben Fellows 15 or 19 ? How come his powerful agent, who was already getting him work on a regular basis across the entertainment industry unable to say no?

Here is Ben Fellows account of working on the "Cash for Questions" investigation for the Cook Report.

During the show’s ‘Cash for Questions’ investigation, the first politician who I met was then DTI Chairman, Sir Michael Grylls, who invited me to tea in the House of Commons “tea room” and spent the meeting attempting make untoward body contact with me under the table. After that, I was sent to a political lobbyist named Ian Greer who tried to rub his genitalia against me while he hugged me. On one separate occasion, I was summoned Ian Greer’s offices **********(Name redacted) ******. Greer gave me a two glasses of whiskey and was acting a little, lets say, “over-familiar”. *******(Name redacted) *** Ian Greer were well aware of my age – because I told them I was 15. Now, I’m not suggesting that either Sir Michael Grylls, Ian Greer *********(Name redacted) are pedophiles, however, it’s not over-the-top to describe what transpired as very questionable behaviour towards a minor – by anyone’s standards – let alone the standards expected from our public officials and government inner circle members.

Here's an account of the 'Cash for Questions' investigation from the Guardian's obituary in 2001 of Sir Michael Grylls.

A Central Television team attempted a documentary in 1994 in which they pretended to be Russo-American entrepreneurs, ready to spend $40m on buying decanted government agencies, particularly the insolvency agency. A fancy office with concealed cameras was set up in Park Lane, with a black American actor pretending to be gay, to attract Greer. Grylls was approached and he referred them to Greer. Greer boasted about what he could do for these potential clients. He also boasted about his close connections with the then prime minister, John Major. The documentary was never broadcast, but verbatim extracts appeared in the Guardian.

Ben Fellows made a movie called "I was Jonathan Pitt" which played in a Birmingham cinema in 2006.

When Ben Fellows split with his fiancée in 2003 it caused an emotional crisis and got him thinking about the woman who had given him up for adoption..... Thirty years later with his adoptive family's blessing he set out on a journey that was to change his life forever.

So how old was Ben Follows in 1994? 15 as he says or 18-20 as indicated by the above.

Ben Fellows is said to be alive and well although he says he is in hiding and on the run, he popped up in Watford recently and is still maintaining his claims about Kenneth Clarke and has written to him.

Oh I just remembered this is funny. Remember when you were talking about G4S in Ian Greers office back in the day. You said that, why when you were asked why the company was called G4S, after the fiasco with Group 4 Securicor, you said that “It’s called G4S as the 4 was the dollar sign on the keyboard”…Oh so it is!

Did I read that Savile threatened to have someone killed when they wanted to expose him in the seventies? He strikes me as a very dangerous man, not just for his abuse of women and kids.

Any evidence that Savile was behind the assignation of J.F Kennedy has quietly disappeared, but Kennedy was on the brink of calling an investigation on the Catholic Church something Savile could not allow to happen due to his strong links.

Apparently Reggie Kray once took a phone call from Savile and was left shaking and dropped the phone.

I do remember a story about him boasting of his links to contract killers and gangsters. Also when he ran a dance hall in Leeds in the fifties, he was well known for behaving brutally to people who messed about. Even without the more recent allegations, he doesn't strike me as being pleasant.
Also I was looking at the BBC News website and some reporter called Clifford Luton from the sixties and seventies has been arrested for downloading indecent images and historic abuse. I sort of vaguely recall the name, but was he one of the top reporters going back to the sixties as he is 87 now?
